January 2020: Hindsight is 2020

The phrase 'Hindsight is 2020' refers to the concept of some things being easier to realize after the fact. Its easy to recognize flaws in a plan, be assured of the outcome of a situation, or peg how things should be done... in retrospect, that is.

With that said, for this month's Featured Challenge, write us a story that makes more sense in hindsight: where the meaning of aspects of the story are made clear in its climax. Interwoven into your story should be elements or details that hold importance, but said importance isn't made clear until the climax or end of your piece.

As always, creative interpretations to the prompt are both welcome and encouraged.

Please be sure to include "January 2020 Challenge: Hindsight is 2020" in your summary.
